Are you interested in working for an award winning social care charity?
Personal Assistants (Support Workers) have the most important role within Enable by making a positive difference every day to the lives of the people we support. No two days are the same for our Personal Assistants but what we can guarantee is that you will be supporting someone with a learning disability to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be!
Each person we support has different support needs, so your support worker role may include assisting them with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling or positive behavioural support whilst expanding their social networks and connections.
Enable creates a bespoke team around every individual we support, and our team of Personal Assistants work collaboratively to ensure the safety, wellbeing and aspirations of the people we support are met.
The Best in You Brings Out the Best in Me
The people we support have many varied interests and hobbies and have many of the same dreams and aspirations as we do; they just too often do not get the opportunity to experience these same opportunities. So whatever your interests are; be it sewing, baking, having a cup of tea and chat to horse riding, swimming or hill-walking, we want to hear from you!
Let us introduce you to Rose and Shirley:
Rose is a lovely lady who requires support to attend her activities in the community, meeting her friends, banking and shopping. Rose is outgoing and very independent requires full support with finances. Rose doesn't require any support to cook but assistance with planning weekly healthy meal choices is required.
Shirley is a quiet lady who requires assistance with day to day living. Shirley is a quiet gentle personality who requires encouragement and prompting. Duties include supporting to clean and cook. Shirley requires support with meal planning and healthy meal choices. You will also support Shirley with banking, shopping and prompting with medication. Shirley is independent but requires emotional and practical support. Shirley's Mum is heavily involved with the support of Shirley and staff are required to liase with mum on a daily basis.
A career with Enable is as rewarding as it is diverse, Personal Assistants at their best have the potential to truly bring out the best in the people we support.
